We don't really need him now that Hudler has taken UFC lessons.

I know I said this half jokingly but I just wanna repeat... If Moore can sue bertuzzi, why can't naslund sue Moore? Why can't lindros sue Stevens? Crosby should sue steckel and hedman an half the NHL should sue Cooke. No matter how much you want to clean up the game, the fact remains hockey is a very dangerous sport and you should assume all risks when you play at the highest level. We've come to a point in society where we want to always blame the other guy. Sure, this would have all been avoided if bertuzzi didn't cheap shot moore. Then again, this could all have been avoided if Moore didn't cheap shot naslund. At any rate, naslund, Moore, and bertuzzi all share some blame in this mess. When you get injured it's your fault and the other players fault. Therefore, in my opinion, the injured player assumes some of the blame and ALL of the risk. Don't play hockey if you want to get injured. And don't head hunt on the leagues top scorer if you don't want to fight (and yea you might have to fight multiple times. Claude Lemieux wasn't done after he turtles against McCarty)

He still can't take a punch like Ozzy.

The 40 million is ridiculous but I don't think they actually expect to get paid that amount. I'm certainly no legal expert, but isn't this somewhat common in cases like this? They ask for some insane amount of money that they know they'll never get with the hope that a settlement is reached for a much smaller (yet still significant) sum of money. Either way, I agree with most of you... enough is enough. I used to be one of the biggest Bert haters. I forgave him long ago because I genuinely believe he is penitent and seemed to do everything he could to make amends. Bertuzzi suffered majorly as a result of his actions, and it seems to have humbled him. He hasn't done anything remotely similar since it happened. It was a stupid, horrible thing for Bertuzzi to do, but the intention was not there to end his career. It was a heat of the moment thing with flukey results that got out of hand. I have seen several videos of our own Darren McCarty doing things VERY similar to what Bertuzzi did (possibly with even more malice and force behind the punch), and the reason we're still talking about Bert is because of the results of the injury, not the actual incident.

Yes, THAT Mike Danton. How about a feel good story for a change... ESPN link Cheers Mike! esteef

Well needless to say, the wings prospect I'm hoping hits his potential the most is Riley Sheahan. After his secon dhalf last season I'm very excited to see what he does this year, with his potential selke like defense and his second half offensive production, over the course of a full season I could see him becoming our second or third best prospect. On top of all that he is a big hitter and has said he is willing to fight with a 6'2 200+ pound frame. I cant wait to see a guy like that in the wings top 6 again (sheahan sounds pretty similar to shanahan ) So anyways I was looking around online and I never realized this but Sheahan is pretty damn built. http://oilers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=530486 He finishes in the top 10 against other his age in quite a few different categories like 4th in bench press and standing long jump. The NCAA emphasizes hitting the weights more so than the OHL and by the time this kid hits pro hockey he could be built like a brock s*** house and really physically dominating player Mod feel free to edit his last name in the title, even though the winning puns wont get old

wow finally have some........nope...same old draperfan.

too bad it's through a goalie who will most likely be on the LTIR by Halloween...

The Bucket Lives!

I think you missed his point there. The point wasn't that Moore was expendable, the point is that he almost certainly wouldn't have made 38 million dollars as a player. So when you say you would be happy if Moore won, do you mean if he is awarded the full 40 million? You really believe Bertuzzi should be paying out of his own pocket for likely the rest of his life for a one time lapse of judgement in a heated situation after already serving his original punishment?

Awesome, I didn't see it listed on NHLN, that would be a lot better than streaming That would require waiting ALL the way until tomorrow though, haha

its on root and nhln, fsd is broadcasting only 3 games, but it is looking like a majority if not all of the wings games are gonna be televised, online it doesn't say the 2 against philly will be but i think they will be on csn. Not bad if you ask me luckily they play all high-profile teams, they also get nat coverage on CBC, VS, and NHLN/WGN a few times.

If you remember the links on the GDT's from last year.....you will get to see it=)

Link Dallas Stars to wear Skrastins #37 decal on their helmets this season, to honor their fallen team mate. I do hope the Wings do something similar for Brad, Rusty and Stefan.

I'm happy to see that he'd be happy to play with the Griffins is that is where he ends up. His attitude seems to have had a 180 since 3 years ago, which only spells good things for him.

Hey Guys, Thought i would share this with you, found this on twitter. TFPnews TheFourthPeriod News Want Hockey's Lifestyle Mag? For a limited time only, we're giving away a FREE 1-yr digital subscription! Sign up Now! bit.ly/ozIElC ----------- I actually subscribe to the mag and its great. always has some good features. Kinda pissed now its free, but i figure you guys can take a look. And - LETS GO WINGS!

So if the first line stays: Eaves - Datsuk - Cleary... What are the rest of the lines going to look like??

Agreed. And from a management perspective you just paid one of your players to injure the other. Not surprising that teams would have a policy against it.

Is the NHL Network done showing every game in the playoffs idiotically for 3 months?

How do you think Lids would fair on such an awful defense like Columbus had? I think you would see real low numbers from him as well. I think as a whole the D has to be fairly good. Can't be up to one person. That's why I think Commodore will do good here. He has other good/great D that will free him up somewhat so that he can play his true game and not a style that he really doesn't play. But that's just me.

Good. Maybe he can cross check Ashley into one of the check out windows. God I hate her. Yes I watch the show ....I love it

Exactly. I like the Commodore signing for the price and depth purposes, but he couldn't stay up with Columbus and they have one of the worst defensive units in the league.

WOW someone finally with brains

Yeah i agree.just break the guys neck and move on Moore was only a fourth line player so that makes him expendable.I hope Moore wins his settlement,i would be one happy guy

Hehe... Just thought I'd get a good scare out of all of you. I was actually very concerned when I saw this on twitter, but it doesn't sound too bad. Just a bone bruise on his foot. http://redwingsfront.wordpress.com/2011/09/20/howard-suffers-injury/
